Installation is about as simple as it gets, simply plug the PC TrickleSwitch into an outlet and your single item or power strip to the other side, that is all and you are good to go.

Once the PC TrickleSwitch is installed a green LED tells you when power is on and gives you the ability to turn the peripherals off even when your PC is on. The TrickleSwitch’s cord is long enough that I really don’t see any issue in placing it wherever you want. The bottom of the switch has a small circle of double sided tape if you wanted to secure it to a surface.

The main downfall of the PC TrickleSaver is that it adds another bit of clutter under your desk and also may add another power strip since you obviously can’t have your PC’s main power connected to the same as any peripherals you want to turn off. Also keep in mind that even using the TrickleSwitch, power is still only given to those attached peripherals when the PC is on. What it comes down to is that it’s an easy to use device that can save you money, how much depends on how many devices are attached and what type of power those devices draw while off or in standby.
